[...] my post about walking to work? (Yes, I’m still walking. People keep asking. I guess that’s good for accountability.) [...]

We just recently purchased an existing shop. It is about a 2 min drive from my house. 3 if I hit a traffic light. My husband commutes into NYC every day and was aggravated with me for micro managing my minute commute! I hope to ride my bike to work this spring/summer. I’ll have to time the walk…. .9 miles. I wonder about the geese though. I suppose they will leave me alone.

I could walk to work, but I have a stretch where I would literally be taking my life into my hands because of the lack of sidewalks, the narrowness of the street and the speed and general disregard of the drivers flying past me. So, instead Itry to get to the gym to walk a couple of miles there each night….notice the word try I need to just get to it!

This is great – I loved walking to work. Do you have an ipod? Tunes make the walk WAY more fun.

I don’t understand (I CANNOT understand) why you DON’T go to Starbucks???? Sweet girl, life is to short to skip coffee. AND (justification engineer hat on) I bet if you did you’d get, 4000 steps in!! ?

It’s funny that you should mention the 10,000 steps. My lovely gentleman bought me a new ipod for our anniversary this month and it has a built in pedometer and I’ve found myself averaging about 3000 steps a day. I’m going to try to get that up to 5000, then 8000, then 10000.

There’s really no excuse with all of that music to enjoy, I think my problem is that I work from home and it’s too easy to stay inside.

I think this is a great idea, especially in good weather. I agree with those that are a little uncomfortabe with walking in the dark, Can’t say how many times you come across someone walking in the dark and it is way to late when you see them. Just be careful.

That is great that you can walk to your building. Maybe you could listen to a nice piece of music or a book tape while you walk.
Enjoy your day,

Love the travelog. Thanks for the break from my snowy part of the country. (Clear sidewalks, what a concept!) Walking is good for you…good for your heart, good for your bones, good for your mood. It’s either walking or aerobic knitting. Take your pick!

What a wonderful post! I would like to know how many steps you take in your shop as you pick yarns for orders, or unpack yarn from the vendors. Oh, wait – maybe the elves do those and you just sit on your comfy red couch, watching the elves! LOL! Thanks for sharing.
